St. John's Encouragement/Funeral Reception Ministry provides an uplifting, inspiring reception experience for families and friends who have faced the loss of a loved one. We prepare and arrange an elegant opportunity to cater to those affected by their personal loss, to relieve them from any extended burdens during their bereavement. This is an occasion for sharing memories, love and condolences to one another.

Our parish has a very dedicated, caring group of volunteers who provide assistance with set-up, food preparation and clean-up throughout the reception process. This particular ministry encounters spontaneous arrangements and planning for these events. We strive to prepare original themed gatherings to honor and remember individuals personally.

If you would like to be a part of this ministry, please contact the office at (916) 757-6137.
